ScottP Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 So, I am forced to use a Gateway laptop at work. Recently I was given a copy of the newest MS Office as a gift. I loaded it onto the work laptop and now I can't open any of the .doc files I created using the older version of Word. I'm curious... WTF is up with that?!?

ScottP Posted September 29, 2007 Author Share Posted September 29, 2007 Thanks marylou... ...yet I have to do this first... "Instructions To install this download: Ensure your system is up to date by installing all High-Priority/Required updates on Microsoft Update (required for Microsoft Office XP and 2003 users)." I have to put on band-aids before I can put on band-aids. Where's that new Microsoft keyboard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mattp Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 I have never had these kinds of problems with WordPerfect. In my opinion it has been a superior product ever since the beginning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
